The most unlucky thing was not Mahan and his Alabama, but the fastest Illinois, a brand-new giant ship that could reach a fastest speed of 25 knots. In fact, it could have completed its mission. The heavy
The armor and powerful artillery allowed it to hold on tenaciously in the battle with two Frederick III-class battleships until it saw the coast of Long Island.
Although they were bruised and bruised, and although they understood their tragic mission, the Americans on the Illinois still couldn't help but cheered, and then opened up their engines and rushed towards New York Bay while fighting the Germans. Unfortunately, what they didn't know was
, on the Friedrich III eight kilometers away, Severa and Tirpitz were showing a smile.
"Quick, boys, rush into New York Bay, kick the asses of those invaders, and let them know the power of the American people." Captain Jackson roared excitedly, as if in response, the 10,000-person ship under his feet
The thousand-ton giant ship was a few minutes faster.
Unfortunately, at this moment, there was a sudden loud bang, and the Illinois shook violently. Before he could reach out to hold the bulkhead, he saw the explosive water column spraying out from the starboard side. The originally racing battleship was hit by this.
The impact of the explosion caused the bow of the ship to tilt, and then the four 7,000-horsepower diesel engines instantly stopped rotating.
"Mine!"
"The oil pipe is broken!"
Immediately afterwards, a series of screams sounded on the Illinois. However, the battleship's bad luck did not end. It continued to move forward according to inertia and then hit a nearby mine, two American-made mines, and destroyed their own
A huge hole was opened under the waterline on the left and right sides of the latest battleship. As the seawater surged in, it quickly sank outside the New York Bay. Fortunately, the water here was only a dozen meters deep. Most of the battleship's body was
It was still above the water, so the casualties were not very serious.
Captain Jackson, who was still in the command tower, gave a helpless smile, and then ordered his men to raise the white flag. Only then did he see a dozen cruisers and destroyers sailing out of New York Bay. It was obvious that the coalition forces had not sent all of them.
force to confront the Atlantic Fleet.
The battle in the south is still continuing. After the sinking of the USS Alabama and the USS New York, the Princess Astraeas-class armored cruisers immediately joined the attack on the USS Killshark and USS Kentucky, while the USS Cologne...
The three giant ships, No. 1 and Rurik, continued to bully the remaining U.S. protected cruisers. As for the four St. Louis-class ships, they were surrounded by ten Soryu-class ships on another battlefield. Soon only two ships were left.
Soon only half of the eight American protected cruisers were left, struggling to support themselves on the sea, waiting for their final fate. However, the expulsions were almost gone after being beaten at this time. These ships were traveling at a speed of more than 30
There were so many small boats in the festival that it was obvious that this sea area could no longer accommodate their fighting. They were basically fighting one-on-one to the distant sea.
However, with the arrival of night, the Americans finally avoided the end of annihilation. Of course, this was only for those insignificant small warships. The battleships could not expect to escape under the cover of darkness. Even if they were fighting at close range with searchlights,
, the coalition forces will not let them go.
It was around nine o'clock in the evening that the naval battle that ultimately determined the fate of the United States came to an end. The remaining USS Chilsarge sank, and the USS Kentucky rushed to the shore with grief and anger, and ran aground one kilometer away from the coast.
, eight of the remaining armored cruisers and protected cruisers sank, and the remaining four also followed the example of the Kentucky and rushed to the coast, but even so, the coalition ships completely blew them up before leaving. As for the destroyers
The battle actually lasted until the next morning, when the last remaining American destroyer took refuge in Portsmouth, covered in flames.
The coalition forces also suffered certain losses, especially the Spanish battleship Pelayo, which was sunk by the USS Chilsarge. In addition, Germany and Russia each lost a protected cruiser, and four destroyers were lost in the destroyer battle.
Sunk, but this loss was nothing compared to their glorious victory.
After this battle, the U.S. Navy existed in name only, with only fifteen destroyers left. As for the other gunboats and torpedo boats, they were not worth mentioning. Of course, they also had four submarines, and these small boats were all hiding in Norfolk.
, under the protection of the coastal defense fortress, guarding the last hope of the United States, the Newport News Shipyard is building two of the latest USS Maine battleships that have not yet been launched.
When the naval battle ended, the battle on land also began. The coalition forces attacking south from New York and the German troops returning with hundreds of carts of loot simultaneously launched an attack on the two U.S. divisions and more than 20,000 militiamen sandwiched between them.
, it can be said that both sides were furious at this time and even used poison gas bombs on each other. However, the Americans still suffered a big loss in this regard. Their phosgene was obviously unable to resist the coalition's mustard gas.
This night battle lasted until the next morning, and ended when the U.S. military could not withstand the double attack of the Germans and had to rout westward. When Hindenburg opened the road back to New York, the sun was already shining brightly.
.
"Okay, this war is over!" Emperor Yang, who returned to New York Bay after visiting the naval battle, said with satisfaction on the deck looking at the Statue of Liberty in the distance. Dozens of workers were working on the fallen statue.
Busy, preparing to cut off her head with a gas cut and take it away as a trophy. Of course, it would not be taken away to Emperor Yang. There was no way he could know about such a heinous atrocity, even if he was sitting less than a foot away from her.
Thousands of meters away, he was watching the cutting scene with a telescope. He had absolutely no idea about it. By the time he found out, these rough soldiers had already decapitated the noble Statue of Liberty.
Then Emperor Yang was naturally furious, but this was done by the Russians, so he had no choice but to buy it with his own money, and then give it to the American people as a private gift together with the original Liberty Bell. Of course, these
It has to be a procedure that takes several months.
In addition to this, there was also the gift given to him by Hindenburg. The original declaration of American independence. In a happy mood, Emperor Yang actually awarded this guy a count title after obtaining William's consent. In addition, he was still in China.
According to the standard, he was awarded a fief of one thousand acres.
"So what are our negotiation standards?" Little Moltke said with a smile. The honor of entering Washington, the capital of the United States, made the German Army truly powerful in the world.
"The Chinese government's requirements are still the same. If you are willing to add more, it is up to you. In addition, the United States is not allowed to own warships with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons within ten years. All warships above this tonnage currently under construction are handed over and demolished.
For all shipyards that build ships of this tonnage or above, these two items must not be changed. As for war reparations, pay as much as you can. Didn’t you ask France for four billion gold francs back then? It’s best not to pay less this time.
This number." Emperor Yang thought for a while and said.
"What if the Americans refuse?" Xiao Maoqi asked. This offer is not low. In fact, the coalition forces have not threatened the core of the United States until now, and their main forces are coming in a steady stream.
"Then let's continue the fight. I will add five more divisions from China. At that time, they can't expect to get the entire west of the Rocky Mountains. That's not what the Chinese Autonomous Region can satisfy me. At least they have to cede it. As for
If your country and Russia each increase their troops by 100,000, don't dismantle the arsenal in New York. With Raytheon's production capacity, we can maintain a combat force of more than 500,000 people in the Americas. By then, we will arm hundreds of thousands more niggas.
and Mexicans, let them destroy this country as much as they want, and if they are willing to fight us, we will accompany them to the end." Emperor Yang said with a sinister smile.
He is not worried about this kind of thing. It is absolutely impossible for those southern states to resist to the end for their enemies in the north. Now there are several states trying to join the Southwest Mutual Protection Initiative established by the three Texas states. If the U.S. government still
To continue the war, as long as the three Texas states raise their arms, the division of the country between the north and the south is absolute. So far, the southern states have not suffered any losses. Why should they take the risk of having their homeland destroyed by the war?
If the coalition really needs to continue to increase its troops, it won't be much more than that. Another 100,000 troops will be added to New York. The U.S. military's combat power is estimated to be 600,000, so don't expect to recapture it. Another 100,000 troops to Florida in the south will be enough to break through the existing U.S. defense lines. Then
Fighting as far north as Atlanta and plunging the entire American South into war, they would not do such a stupid thing.
Of course, this negotiation cannot be initiated by the coalition forces. Just find a middleman to let the Americans know. As for this middleman, it is easy to find. Doesn’t France hope to mediate? Then give them this opportunity and let Nicholas hint.
They will know how to do it in a while, but before that, they may have to fight the Americans again. They are constantly sending troops here from the south. It is impossible to negotiate without a fight, at least they have to use war.
Get some chips for yourself.
There is nothing to care about. With the fleet protecting New York Bay, it would be strange if more than 50,000 coalition troops could not defend New York. Emperor Yang no longer needs to worry about this war. This man has been away from his country for more than a year.
The emperor finally decided to leave the Americas and return to his country. When the news came out, all the countries in the Americas breathed a sigh of relief. This disaster star was finally leaving. He was here like a heavy mountain, pressing on the heads of these American countries.
, let them not even dare to take a breath, look at the fate of the United States, what a good country has been destroyed into, and never let yourself become the second United States.
